Early July Flora

Flowers and vegetables blooming at our little homestead in Hacketts Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada...

Irises

Sugar Peas (AKA Snap Peas)

Lupins nearing the end of their bloom...

And the lupin in our greenhouse which got such an early start, is already producing seeds, which I of course save, and then send around, with a lot of other seeds, to my internet friends in Canada.

Strawberry

Blackberry. You can see to the right, there are some developing already, thank you Bees!!

Some kind of a wild pansy?

Wild Roses

And another variety of wild rose, these we have the most of, they are everywhere, and it smells soooooo good right now!

I'm not sure what these are, but they grow everywhere. So I guess they would be considered a weed maybe. The bees LOVE them, they grow on a vine and I do have to watch them in the greenhouse that they don't choke out my tomato plants.

No clue what these are either. Nova Scotia has tonnes of teensy eensy wildflowers growing everywhere. I call it the land of the wildflowers!

These I do know well...mmmmm.....fooooooood...

Dill

Tomato

Tomatillo

And these flowers have been gone for a little while, yet I still wanted to include the tiny baby apples. We are so lucky and have 11 apple trees surrounding our little homestead. Most are crab apples, though they do get quite large, and I make my year's worth of apple cider vinegar with them, as well as use them in baking.

I hope you enjoyed this feast for the eyes, and if you know what some of the flowers are that I didn't know, I'd love to hear.

Have a really great night, here, have a teensy tiny Nova Scotia flower...

Love,
